The Academy of Excellence

Eureka Springs, Arkansas

And the Lord shall make you the head, and not the tail; and you shall be above only, and you shall not be beneath, if you heed the commandments of the Lord your God which I command you this day and are watchful to do them. Deuteronomy 28:13

Chili Cook Off and Benefit Auction

The biggest fund raiser of the year for The Academy is our annual Chili Cook Off and Auction. The entire community comes out to taste the best chili in Eureka Springs and bid on auction items donated by many of the local businesses. In addition to local items, there are always a few surprises. In the past there has been autographed memorabilia from sports stars, vacation packages, gas grills, ATV's, and even a walk on role in a major motion picture! You never know what you'll find on the auction tables!

Since this is the main fundraiser for the school we ask that parents really roll up their sleeves and get involved in the planning and execution of this event. We begin the planning within the first few weeks of school, so if you would like to be involved, please call Mr. Tim at the school office.

In addition to volunteering your time to planning, please also be considering those you may know who would be willing to donate items to our silent and live auction.

This year our 5th annual Chili Cook Off and Benefit Auction will be held on Friday, February 8 at the Best Western Inn of The Ozarks in Eureka Springs. Make plans now to attend.
